I've never heard this to be a double entendre song, and the Genius footnotes have nothing like that npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman The latest edition of the #Owncast Newsletter has been published! A pretty short one this time, but totally worth the read to see what's going on with our featured streamer, @npub17pe…wgmy npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman The April/May edition of the #Owncast newsletter is out! In this issue: the Owncast 0.1.3 release, the new Owncasts channel on Roku, and a look into our featured streamer, @npub1lrw…ssgg ! npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman @npub1zw0…uljm Fuckin' spot on npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman @npub1zw0…uljm And eat the hell out of it. npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman @npub1zw0…uljm @npub1x0l…vwpy I assure you that replying to you today led me to discover your zines and the page is open on my workstation and waiting for me when I start the day tomorrow. npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman @npub1zw0…uljm @npub1x0l…vwpy Never change, RevXeno. This is why I've got your "Normal Is Wrong" essay on my refrigerator so I can see it every day. npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman I'm happy to announce the release of the #Owncast newsletter for March 2024! npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman I'm happy to announce the release of the #Owncast newsletter for March 2024! npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman Current status: knee deep in the hoopla. npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman @npub1mmf…eknq welp, yeah. It's conspicuous consumption provided by a consumer cult of personality. npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman @npub156n…mvgw That was indeed excellent, and the need for someone to pick on him fidgeting with a zipper blows my mind. *He* was the one being put on the spot. npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman @npub1xjt…9ml2 Maybe? It depends on what the dominant paradigm is...if it's one where you're heavily pushed to change gender and you're "sick" if you don't, yes. If it's one where all are free to follow their hearts, they might just feel a little odd that they never needed to make any changes but that's it. npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman @npub1xjt…9ml2 Maybe?

Is everything okay?" npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman @npub1xjt…9ml2 I'm sure this is not every trans person's experience, but it's definitely mine. I had this exchange with someone early on in my transition.... npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman @npub1xjt…9ml2 I'm sure this is not every trans person's experience, but it's definitely mine. I had this exchange with someone early on in my transition.... npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman @npub1typ…c8hh Indeed indeed. I still cling to the old, slightly dented Ranger my partner's parents sold us when they couldn't climb up in it any longer, and we typically only drive it when there's a reason to. I just do not understand Cult Of The Big Truck. npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman @npub1200…aqy2 If you think having some base civility is tone policing and respectability politics, especially with someone who actually fundamentally agrees with you but wanted to make a minor distinction in two concepts along the way, then it's better if we don't talk. npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman @npub1200…aqy2 If you're going to be like that, it's likely best we completely terminate our mutual follows. npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman @npub1200…aqy2 That "So?" was a very unwelcome start to your response. npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman @npub1200…aqy2 Some people do genuinely want to be offered revenge, though. It's not a solution, but it's something on offer that they want. I personally know people who just want to spite and hurt their imagined enemies. npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman @npub15nw…s0l7 @npub1su4…a0dw Could you explain what you mean a little more? npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman @npub1su4…a0dw If only a technique like this existed for written text. I'd throw salt in everything I still have editorial control over. npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman @npub1j8m…v5r7 Dragons aren't my jam but I've been following you for months and I think it's your best work yet! npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman My workplace's employee spyware...ahem...SECURITY system has deemed https://www.subgenius.com to be worrysome due to "Adult Themes". npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman @npub1zw0…uljm It is a multidisciplinary practical field with a fistful of partial models that help sometimes. But if we were really going to bin it in with other disciplines, I'd honestly call it a specialization of sociology. This angers a lot of business school people, which makes me happy. npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman @npub1zw0…uljm Yep. I have an undergrad in it. I have friends who were econ department chairs. Honest economists will tell you it's not a science, though sometimes you can do science within it. npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman @npub1gg8…439g @npub18lj…80hq I see nothing wrong with reading some Rand within context. The real problem with Rand is that, given how unchallenging and accessible it is, a lot of people just kinda stop there. Especially if they're teenagers, it kinda arrests parts of their intellectual and emotional development in those late-teen years. npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman @npub1gg8…439g @npub18lj…80hq I think, in a lot of ways, Rand is optimized to be a bit of a tar pit for precocious youths. it has a veneer of philosophical discourse without challenging many fundamental assumptions about the world, so you feel like you're elevating yourself without being made uncomfortable. Adults will praise you for reading it. And it centers the ego at a time when ego development and individuation are part of one's cultural arc of development. npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman @npub1gg8…439g @npub1xg6…e6jt I do get the smoking monkey, though, right? npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman Just finished "Spider Man: Across The Spiderverse". Holy shit. I think I need to stare at a bowl of cold oatmeal until my occipital lobe resets. To call it sensually overwhelming is to still commit understatement. You need a seatbelt to watch this flick. #marvel #spiderman npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman @npub1znz…8l64 Ooh! There's a newsletter. I wishlisted months ago and had been wondering how to get updates! npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman @npub1zw0…uljm Ah, well, the first 5 seconds of this clip will answer it. npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman @npub1zw0…uljm You know that scene in Karate Kid 2 where they're building the guest room? That's how squarely you hit the nail on the head. npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman @npub1w84…vs55 Yes, I just went through this myself, having committed the grave sin of being trans and cheering for Linus Torvalds being shitty at someone using "woke" as a pejorative. npub13xjjrwj04nmvdryjyfctayasp3l4ftjw65k3r7npxqdl9qgwc56qg3zk6q Rhett Aultman Friday night has been homemade pizza night for over 3 years now. I'd say we've gotten pretty good at it.
